All-cause mortality rates in adults with carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacterial infections: a comprehensive review of pathogen-focused, prospective, randomized, interventional clinical studies

Thomas P. Lodise et al.

Summary: Pathogen-focused, randomized, controlled trials (PF-RCT) are crucial in the fight against carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative infections. Recent studies have investigated both new and older generic antibiotics in a variety of infections. However, PF-RCTs pose challenges due to heterogeneity in infection types, pathogens, and study design. Interpretation of data is further complicated by the lack of statistical analysis plans and limited power. While new antibiotics showed potential in reducing all-cause mortality in CR Enterobacterales infections, combinations of older generic antibiotics did not demonstrate the same effect in CR Acinetobacter spp. infections. More high-quality PF-RCTs are needed to evaluate the clinical benefit of drug-resistant infections.

Christopher J. L. Murray et al.

Summary: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to global human health, and this study provides the most comprehensive estimates of AMR burden to date. By estimating deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) associated with bacterial AMR in 204 countries and territories in 2019, the study highlights the impact of resistance and the leading pathogen-drug combinations contributing to it.

Assessment of In Vitro Cefiderocol Susceptibility and Comparators against an Epidemiologically Diverse Collection of Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Isolates

Clara Balleste-Delpierre et al.

Summary: This study investigated the in vitro antimicrobial activity of cefiderocol and other antibiotics against a diverse collection of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates, revealing cefiderocol and colistin as the most active agents. Notably, cefiderocol demonstrated superior efficacy against multidrug-resistant and carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii isolates, suggesting it as a promising alternative treatment option for infections caused by these strains.

Emergence of High-Level Cefiderocol Resistance in Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae from Bloodstream Infections in Patients with Hematologic Malignancies in China

Peng Lan et al.

Summary: Cefiderocol-resistant CRKP strains are emerging in Chinese patients with hematologic malignancies. The resistance is mediated by multiple factors including the deficiency of CirA, metallo- or serine-beta-lactamases, and can be further enhanced by NDM expression and CirA deficiency. This poses challenges to the clinical efficacy of cefiderocol in the future.

Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemase Variants Resistant to Ceftazidime-Avibactam: an Evolutionary Overview

Claire Amaris Hobson et al.

Summary: This review describes the mutational landscape of KPC beta-lactamase towards ceftazidime-avibactam resistance, showing that resistance is associated with three hot spots and a high representation of insertions and deletions compared to other beta-lactamases. The extension of resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam is accompanied by a trade-off in resistance to other beta-lactams and a decrease in enzyme stability. The natural stability of KPC could explain its propensity to acquire in vivo mutations conferring resistance to ceftazidime-avibactam.

Cefiderocol Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing Considerations: the Achilles' Heel of the Trojan Horse?

Patricia J. Simner et al.

Summary: Cefiderocol is a novel siderophore-conjugated cephalosporin that shows activity against multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacilli. It utilizes a siderophore component to bind iron and enter bacterial cells, leading to cell death. Further clinical studies are needed to determine its effectiveness against other organisms.

Summary: In this study, cefiderocol was used to treat patients with bacteremia or ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by drug-resistant strains, showing a 70% clinical success rate and 90% survival rate. However, two patients experienced microbiological failure, highlighting the need for future prospective studies to further evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment.

KPC-39-Mediated Resistance to Ceftazidime-Avibactam in a Klebsiella pneumoniae ST307 Clinical Isolate

Agnes B. Jousset et al.

Summary: Resistance to the combination of ceftazidime (CAZ) and avibactam (AVI) is increasing, with a CAZ-AVI-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strain reported here. This strain, belonging to the high-risk sequence type 307 (ST307) clone, produces Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase 39 (KPC-39), a single-amino-acid variant of KPC3. The study found that KPC-39 has lost carbapenemase activity but shows increased affinity for CAZ, suggesting potential silent dissemination in European healthcare settings.
